Don't want to fly to an overseas conference but still want to meet other researchers in person? Consider hosting a conference satellite 🛰️ - we did it last summer.
I collected some lessons learned here:

(older post from the bird site, but it's one of the cooler things I've done this year, so I wanted to share it with my new 🦣 followers 😊 )
@mario_angst_sci That's cool! Embarrassingly I'm flying to Europe this year but not for just one conference - 2 months of work and family stuff, which I'm not sure how to deal with in the long run (my partner is an expat).
Anyway, during the pandemic we effectively had a satellite for one conference, with ~6 people from my faculty. Took over a couple of classrooms (as it was all at night our time), presented and followed different sessions, had dinner together etc. It was fun and worthwhile.
